Hey guys im new to this site. I was jus wondering how much my r31 gts skyline is worth? Its a 88 model aussie 4door silhoette GTS skyline says its number 64 out of how ever many(ive got told 200)? got all plates under the hood n got the SVD badge on the dash sayn number 64. However it doesnt hav rb30 in it nemore as its got a n/a 25(apparently done by nissan). 5 speed manual with reco'd diff and new pedders racing suspension. Im curious bout the suspension cuz it has the main outside coil then a inner coil then strut jus wondering if its expensive aswell? Im willing to sell as is or im putn my turbo 30 motor and box in it n putn it on road!

Wud be great to hear some ideas n prices on this??? thanks

Yeah i no it aint worth anything with 25 thats why im selln the motor n putn turbo 30 back in unless i can find a gts motor for it. I got it with the 25 n im tryn to get it bak as close to original as possible unless i get the rite offer for it as is!!!!

Why sell the N/A 25 to put a turbo RB30 in? There was no RB30ET nissan's produced either. It would be easiest(and closest to original) to get a cam regrind to GTS specs and an aftermarket exhaust........

Unless you can find the original engine & ECU, your car is worth SFA.

As someone said, why toss a perfectly good Nissan RB25DE to put in an GMH derivative RB30ET. And there is no way your car came fitted with the RB25DE ex factory.

Why don't you just turbo the RB25DE??

Where did you get this vehicle? As I bought an RB30E GTSI engine off a guy in Narrelan, that was doing this same conversion to his GTSI some years ago when I was going to do a monster RB30DET conversion into an MR30 Ti sedatch.

D

Yeah i was thinkn it aint worth nothing thats y i posted on hear n asked! I never said it came factory with a 25 it jus got told it got converted by nissan. Im putn 30 bak in because i got a rb30DET n turbo box for it. Im over turbsin n/a's as i got another aussie 31 i drive n ive been threw 3 motors in the last 6 months due to crackd heads n head gaskets(from not putn thicker gasket on as i know). But yeah if its best for me to keep 25 i cud do so but im jus thinkn i cud wind more boost into the 30DET n use bigger turbo? Im open to suggestions thats y i posted on hear.

you want to go 'slidin' in a gts? seriously go get S13 or a VN or whatever sub-5K smoke machine you wantto terrorisethe streets in.

ning nong.... just get it back to factory spec and sell it in the conditon it deserves.

Its not that hard if you think about it.

Anyone wanna buy it for 4k. Its got adjustable racing suspension n good tread perfect motor n box. Only thing body needs is one drivers side door strip n wing! No dints n only 2 50cent peice rust spots on whole car. Im willing to let it go!!!!!!!!

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
